Symptomatic identities: lovesickness and the nineteenth-century British novel
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Lovesickness is a common malady in British literature, but it is also an illness
that has been perceived and diagnosed differently in different eras. The nineteenthcentury
British novel incorporates a lovesickness that ...
Control strategies and motion planning for nanopositioning applications with multi-axis magnetic-levitation instruments
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation is the first attempt to demonstrate the use of magnetic-levitation
(maglev) positioners for commercial applications requiring nanopositioning. The key objectives
of this research were to devise the control ...
Design of a cluster analysis heuristic for the configuration and capacity management of manufacturing cells
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation presents the configuration and capacity management of manufacturing cells using cluster analysis. A heuristic based on cluster analysis is developed to solve cell formation in cellular manufacturing systems ...
Detection of water or gas entry into horizontal wells by using permanent downhole monitoring systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
With the recent development of temperature measurement systems, continuous wellbore
temperature profiles can be obtained with high precision. Small temperature changes can
be detected by modern temperature-measuring ...
Flexible allocation and space management in storage systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
In this dissertation, we examine some of the challenges faced by the emerging
networked storage systems. We focus on two main issues. Current file systems allocate
storage statically at the time of their creation. This ...
Screaming, flying, and laughing: magical feminism's witches in contemporary film, television, and novels
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This project argues that there is a previously unnamed canon of literature called
Magical Feminism which exists across many current popular (even lowbrow) genres
such as science-fiction, fantasy, so-called realistic ...
A qualitative study of the performance diagnosis matrix at the individual level as a predictor of student-athlete success as identified by Division IA coaches in the Big 12 Conference
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The intent of this study was to determine if menâÂÂs football and menâÂÂs
basketball coaches at the university or college level utilize an assessment
instrument when recruiting and evaluating potential student-athletes. ...
Second order accurate variance estimation in poststratified two-stage sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
We proposed new variance estimators for the poststratified estimator of the population
total in two-stage sampling. The linearization or Taylor series variance estimator
and the jackknife linearization variance estimator ...
Spectroscopic investigations of the vibrational potential energy surfaces in electronic ground and excited states
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The vibrational potential energy surfaces in electronic ground and excited states of several ring molecules were investigated using several different spectroscopic methods, including far-infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet ...
Urban fox squirrel ecology and management
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
I studied the habitat selection, survival, and anti-predator behaviors of the fox squirrel (Siurus niger) across the urban-rural gradient in College Station, Texas. From two years of tracking the radio locations of 82 fox ...
